Cyclops F/X
Your projector comes with Cyclops F/X—software effects that you can use to
make your presentations more interesting and effective. For example, you
can use the Spotlight to call attention to specific areas on the image, use the
Zoom or Magnify effects to focus on important information in the image, or
use See-it/Show-it to preview images on your computer without distracting
your audience.
You can use Cyclops F/X with either the remote that came with your
projector or the optional Cyclops interactive pointer system, or both at the
same time.
Note: Cyclops F/X is not available for UNIX systems.
Note: You cannot use Cyclops F/X with the MediaExpress system.
To use Cyclops F/X, follow these steps (details are covered throughout this
chapter):
1Use the serial cable appropriate for your system (PCs: C936-6 or Macs:
C470-6) to connect the serial port on your computer to the CYCLOPS
port on the projector.
